Ram Gopal Varma lost 100cr deal?

It would not be exaggeration to say that, the failure of Department has proved to be a turning point for the career of Ram Gopal Varma. There were a lot of expectations for Ramu from the film. However, all of them have fail flat on face in spite of big names and famous faces in the film.

That has cast a huge spell of disappointment for RGV. Ramu was supposed to get a big deal from a corporate company which had to sign a deal of four films with the veteran director. This deal was reportedly known to be of Rs. 100 cr. This deal was to happen about 15 days prior to the release of Department.

On the other hand, Ram Gopal Varma was suggesting that they should wait for the release of the film that took place in the last month. However, a payment of Rs. 10 crores was already made as an advance.

After the debacle of Department, the corporate house was not willing to continue with the deal. They also asked for the advance to be refunded. But as far as the RGV side is concerned, they insist that the deal is not over yet and the work for the November 26 Mumbai attacks is on.

Anjana Sukhani Ignored by Ram Gopal Varma

Anjana Sukhani has made her unhappiness clear to the director of Department, Ram Gopal Varma. It is very understandable on the part of Anjana Sukhani to become restless as she is almost absent from the promos of the film. 

Anjana Sukhani plays the character of Rana Daggubati's wife in the Ram Gopal Varma directed film. She has a decent amount of role to play in the film. The entire attention has been hogged by the Indo-Brazilian beauty Nathalia Kaur. The film Department has become synonymous with Nathalia Kaur.

When contacted by Anjana Sukhani, Ram Gopal Varma promised her that he would look into the entire matter. The lack of attention that Anjana Sukhani suffered was probably due to the fact that RGV has been excessively obsessed by his new-found muse in Nathalia Kaur.

There is no doubt that Nathalia Kaur carried more glamour behind her irrespective of the fact that this is her first Bollywood film. That has completed overshadowed the Indian lady. It’s anyone’s guess that he is biased towards her.

Nathalia Kaur and Rana Daggubati to star in Department

Ram Gopal Varma’s latest find Nathalia Kaur will be seen in his upcoming film Department. Rana Daggubati will be seen as the protagonist in the film. Nathalia Kaur has been making headlines these days and RGV is looking to cash in on her growing popularity in India.

Nathalia Kaur, who is an Indo-Brazilian was supposed to do an item song in the film only. Things were off to a start as Ram Gopal Varma had even ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya to work with Nathalia on the song. The item number “Dan Dan” looked like it would certainly rock.

However, Ram Gopal Varma has a different version to say. He said that Nathalia Kaur isn’t there in the film only for the item song. In fact, she is starring opposite the south sensation Rana Daggubati. RGV further said that people should check the facts before writing things.

Rana Daggubati will don the character of a scruffy policeman. The role was in fact to be done by Abhishek Bachchan first.

Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubatti to have same date releases

In personal life it is indeed a warm relationship between Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubatti. However, when it comes to the professional front, there is no excuse. Whoever may it be, you have to fight it out at the box office. The newly formed pair of Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubatti is no exception either.

On February 24, 2012 the film Jodi Breakers will be released in which Bipasha Basu plays the leading role. On the same day Department will also be released in which Rana Daggubatti plays the lead. Now, this is indeed going to be some hot competition between the two stars.

Incidentally, no one can take the film lightly. It is important for both Bipasha Basu and Rana Daggubatti. Bipasha Basu had a couple of films like Dum Maaro Dum and Players where there was no solo female cast. In that sense, Jodi Breakers will be the first solo female lead film for Bips.

On the other hand, Department will be Rana Daggubatti’s second film in Bollywood and he will be hoping to find some solid footing with the film. Ram Gopal Varma has already given the confirmation that Department will be releasing on February 24, 2012.

After Amitabh Bachchan Abhishek Bachchan hurt again

Abhishek Bachchan has again been injured. Some days ago we had reported to you about Amitabh Bachchan getting himself hurt during the shooting of the film Department. But the Jr. Bachchan is at the receiving end again. However, the unfortunate incident did not take place either on the sets or during the shooting.

The crew members of the film Bol Bachchan were playing cricket when Abhishek got hurt. The ball zoomed towards Abhishek. As he tried to avoid the ball, it hit him on his hand. As a matter of fact, Abhishek Bachchan got a hairline fracture in the ring finger of his left hand.

Abhishek then tweeted on the social site Twitter, “...I fractured my finger. It’s what I would like to call a sympathy wound”. As we have told you before, even Amitabh Bachchan is not well. He got hurt in the chest while shooting for Department. He awarded himself a hairline fracture in the ribs.

However, the mega star had the guts to have a lighthearted tweet on Twitter. “My hairline fracture on rib has a companion - Mr Abhishek Bachchan. He has had a hairline fracture on his finger on shoot in Jaipur for Bol Bachchan”, this is what he said.

Amitabh Bachchan injures himself while shooting for Department

Mega star Amitabh Bachchan was injured while shooting for his next film Department. It was a freak accident that took place with Big B on the sets of Department. As a matter of fact, Amitabh got hit in the chest and rib cage during the shooting. It might be an accidental blow on the chest.

After the blow, Amitabh was experiencing some problems in breathing. However, the doctor attending on the star said that it is nothing serious and that the minor problem would be solved on its own. The incident took place in Jaipur where the crew and cast of Department are currently stationed.

Amitabh Bachchan then tweeted for his fans. “People of twitter world, relax! Should never have mentioned… just an accidental… hit by either an elbow or the butt of a carbine!!”

Incidentally, Amitabh Bachchan is not the only member from the family to be injured. Some days ago, Abhishek Bachchan, Big B’s son was also injured. He had then suffered a minor cut on the forehead.

Amitabh Bachchan will play gangster in Ram Gopal Varma’s Department

The cold war between Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma is over finally. The acclaimed director will cast the senior actor in his film Department. It was earlier rumored that Amitabh Bachchan has walked out of the Ram Gopal Varma film. However, with things settling down, things are returning to normalcy.

If those reports were believed, then actually Amitabh Bachchan had walked out of Department, when he came to know that it was the director who had brought disrepute to his son. However, things took a cozy turn when Ram Gopal Varma visited the Big B’s residence on Wednesday night.

The very next morning, he ‘exposed’ Big B’s role in the film (well, finally he did expose someone’s role). He said that Amitabh would be playing the role of a politician who was a former gangster. RGV said, “Imagine the Agneepath character turning over a new leaf and yet to have the same hard intensity and been there done that know-how”.

RGV did not forget to mention that his respect towards the Bachchan family was one of its kinds. He respected the family a lot. He even went on to add the reason for not having Abhishek in Department. It was all due to the date issues, he said.

Abhishek Bachchan won’t do Ram Gopal Varma’s Department

The tension between Abhishek Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma finally saw the bad taste when Abhi was dropped from Department. Actually, both Ram Gopal Varma and Abhishek Bachchan were not in cordial relations for the past few days.

It was reported that Ram Gopal Varma was conveying all his friends about the end of the film Dum Maaro Dum. He did not even spare Abhishek when Ramu commented about him (not in the right taste, obviously). However, RGV has brought in Rana Daggubati to replace Abhishek in the film.

It was not even one week ago that RGV commented about Dum Maaro Dum and Abhishek. However, had everything been going okay between them, Department could have been the fourth film between Ram Gopal Varma and Abhishek Bachchan. Before this, they have done films like Sarkar and Sarkar Raj – both of which were appreciated a lot.

If sources from Ram Gopal Varma’s side are to be believed, then Abhishek Bachchan did not respond to the director’s calls as he used to do before. This certainly irked RGV to the extent that he not only dropped Abhishek from his film, but also spelled out the end of Dum Maaro Dum before taking a dig at the Jr. B.

Kangana Ranaut to play Abhishek Bachchan’s wife in Department

Kangana Ranaut will play the wife of Abhishek Bachchan in the film Department. The film will be directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It was just the last week that Kangana’s role in the film was finalized. If all things go on well, this will be Kangana Ranaut’s first film with Ram Gopal Varma.

RGV said that Kangana fits like a jigsaw in his visualization as a film maker. That is why he did not have to think twice before offering the role to Kangana Ranaut. RGV has seen Kangana’s previous films and thinks she is the best bet that he can think of.

Kangana’s role in Gangster was appreciated a lot and it was since then that Ram Gopal Varma wanted to work with the charming lady. Even though RGV wanted Kangana to be in his films, he was waiting for a suitable role for her – a role that would do justice to her acting abilities.

Apart from Abhishek, his father Amitabh Bachchan will also be seen in the film along with Sanjay Dutt. What is interesting about the film is that Kangana Ranaut is the only female character in the film.
